The probability that a driver passes the written test for a driver’s license is 0.75. What is the probability that a person will fail the test on the first try and pass the test on the second try?
Added by Asunci-N W.
Step 1
75 = 0.25 (since the probability of passing is 0.75, the probability of failing is 1 - that probability). The probability of passing the test on the second try is 0.75 (as given in the problem). Show more…

'8 people are taking a driving test: If the probability of passing the test is 0.75. What is the probability that at least one person will pass the test?'
Pritesh R.
The probability of a person passing the test for a driver's license on the first try is 0.75. The probability that an individual who fails on the first test will pass on the second try is 0.80, and the probability that an individual who fails both the first and second tests will pass the third time is 0.70. Find the probabilities that an individual will do the following: (a) Fail both the first and second tests (b) Fail three times in a row (c) Require at least two tries.

a. If the probability that you will pass the next exam in statistics is accurately assessed at 0.75 what is the probability that you will not pass the next statistics exam? b.
